A deep teeth cleaning is a therapeutic periodontal procedure designed to treat gum disease by removing bacterial buildup, tartar, and toxins from below the gumline where regular cleanings cannot effectively reach or eliminate infection.
Dental professionals perform scaling and root planing to clean beneath the gums, smooth root surfaces, and remove bacteria, allowing inflamed tissues to heal, reattach properly, and reduce harmful pockets around teeth
Deep cleanings help control gum disease, reduce inflammation, prevent bone loss, stabilize teeth, improve gum health, minimize bleeding, and lower the risk of tooth loss while restoring comfort and supporting long-term periodontal stability.

Teeth Cleaning (Deep)

Treat gum disease with thorough below-gum scaling and cleaning.

Patients experiencing bleeding gums, gum inflammation, or early periodontal disease may benefit from deep cleanings. This service is ideal for those needing treatment beyond routine cleanings to stop disease progression and protect teeth and supporting bone.
The experience is thorough and focused on healing. Local anesthetic may be used for comfort. Your hygienist works carefully below the gums to remove infection while explaining each step to ensure you feel comfortable and supported throughout treatment.
Deep cleanings may require one or two longer visits, often 60–90 minutes per appointment. Mild tenderness may follow, but normal activities typically resume the same day.
Temporary soreness or sensitivity can occur after treatment. Following post-care instructions and maintaining good home hygiene is important for healing and long-term success.
Mild soreness or tenderness may occur for a few days. Follow post-care instructions, avoid hard foods briefly, and maintain excellent oral hygiene to support healing.
